Youth

Youth is appealing.
Youth is charming.

Like fresh salad, or mountain air,
it bears a selfless sense of nobility,
as intolerable as defenseless.

White eye bulbs, and a pure liver.
Smooth skin and hairs in the right places.

Barely standing the blinding beauty,
we peek at those impossible shapes.

Normality for the youth itself,
wonder for the elder.
